History

The original village of Clontarf consisted of one street leading to Clontarf Castle with a number of dwellings scattered around it known as The Sheds fishing village. Much of the area’s social history is preserved by the longevity of this very pub. First licensed in 1845, the Connolly family have been here since 1927. This old oasis is one of Dublin’s most charming and convivial venues.
